Nothing sloppy about it, that's Standard ISO C. The mistake here appears to be trying to compile C code with a C++ compiler. It is an error to expect this to work. Despite the similarity in the names, C and C++ are different languages and have different rules. Barry should be using a C compiler to compile the C code in OpenAFS, and use the C++ external-linkage feature to link his C++ code to the C libraries. -GAWollman _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
